Good Morning,

I am looking to purchase a new PC. I have a budget of approx £1,000.00. Looking for any and all suggestions.

What do you like to do with it, E?

Hi, Eamonn!

Since I'm going to get a new machine myself I've done a research on some components and found these parts being low priced but tough enough for the next maybe five years ...

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, CPU
be quiet! Dark Rock 4, CPU cooler
MSI B450 Gaming Plus, Mainboard
Corsair DIMM 16GB DDR4-3000 Kit RAM
MSI Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC, Gfx card
be quiet! Pure Base 600, tower
be quiet! Pure Power 10 CM 500W, PSU

I'm going to use my old SSD, HDD, monitor and peripheral devices. I'm aware of the fact that this targeted system is not one of the strongest you could get for the money (with a little more readiness to assume risk I could get an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and overclock it) but it seems to me that I'll be prepared for possible hardware changes in the future. And this setup will cost me something around 850€ (only?) ...

Frank on his neverending search

P.S. The name of my dealer's site is www.alternate.de (German) or www.alternate.co.uk (English) ...

Can't say much about it. The comparison to the other following PC setups is difficult since there are not much information given about components like motherboard or RAM ...

CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI - Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Storage: Crucial - MX500 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Toshiba - P300 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Video Card

Case: NZXT - H500 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair - TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

The price is about 1.407,91€ and this imho a fair priced PC configuration. I'd be careful with the liquid CPU cooler though. They need some maintenance after some years I've been told (liquid can get lumpy).

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4

Memory: Team - Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Storage: Crucial - P1 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Toshiba - P300 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: Palit - GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB GamingPro OC Video Card

Case: Corsair - Crystal 570X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX

The price is about 1.803,80€ and imho a lot of money. But for an AMD Ryzen system it seems to be very well equipped and the PSU will certainly provide a sufficent power output fot the CPU and the Gfx card.

Isn't that the excellent Intel Gaming build offer from above?

I'm not of big help, am I?
